Answer 1

just dont care im not the most popular kid in the world and i wear skirtseveryday which is hard with cruel people in the world but that's who i am and i want change for peple. just remember whether you're popular are not not everyone will like you and there will always be someone to tlk bout u but who cares!!!!!

Answer 2

Chill out first of all, school is cool with supportive friends by your a side. If you can't sleep, don't worry! I still worry now, and I'm in year 8 but it's natural. Just chill, take deep breaths, get a drink of water and go in there tomorrow, be yourself and go an make more friends.

Answer 3

OMG i use to be just like you when school started and through the year. i was tired of not being my true self and being the quiet girl in the back of the class, so one day i just said F it. I started to do the things i wanted to do slowly and gradually, i started acting myself. It wasn't easy because i was really scared of people making fun of me and talking about me but i just got the courage and stopped caring and just focused on myself. My friends and teachers helped me alot to loosen up. Now, that I'm in 11th I'm a total weird, crazy, freaky girl that everyone seems to adore. lol but yeah, just "find" your true self slowly, be strong, love yourself, and soon you'll be a crazy freak too! ^^ much love and good luck!

Answer 4

looks like you already know.

Answer 5

I know exactly what you are talking about. I'm not popular at all, and I never want to be. I really don't care about people at school. This song helps remind to just be myself. Just listen to the lyrics of the song.

I understand because I wanted to be myself. You have a GREAT attitude because it is true just BE YOURSELF, no matter what anyone thinks or says, just say 'hey' if you dont like how I dress, then DEAL WITH IT!!!! good for you!! :)

Answer 8

do you actually want to go to school to learn or do you want to strut your stuff in front of everyone so they can judge you?  apparently you don't have your mind on school at all.  you should be thinking about preparing for your classes and determining how tight your study schedule is going to be.  if I was in your class, I would be concentrating on the lecture and not on whether or not your clothes are trendy enough.  Get a grip.  Geeze.

Answer 9

Doesn't sound like you need much advice...

You already know what to do. So go for it.

Answer 10

you shouldn't be scared of what people think.

I'm not, that's fersuree.

it looks like you already have the right attitude, you just need to apply that to everyday.

don't be afraid to act crazy, and act the same as when you are with your close friends.

don't be scared no one will laugh at your jokes, just go for it.

and if they don't, then so what.

just do what makes you happy and dont worry about what anyone thinks.

Answer 11

I am starting school tommorow too!

anyways i tottaly changed my fashion sense over the summer but i have been in your position

if those ppl r really your friendw they shouldnt care what your clothes look like

join some clubs meet ppl with the same interests as you

being out their and yourself you may find other ppl who act like you

you can work with your clothes toomix and match and you can make them look like your own fashion i wear tutus and wierd shoes and such all the time nowadays new fashon statements are arrising if your parents dont mind you can cut your clothes or sew on patches to make them look different add some of your own made accesories

if your parents will ask them to do a little school shopping at a thrift store thats where i get my clothes

if somone says osmething to you tell them that you dont care what they think tey arent your concious or the fashion police
